Do you have any response to the conversation as it stands? Or are you going to pull up the one statement that I posted erroneously 2 days ago, apologized for publicly and via PM, and ignore what's currently happening? I don't understand.

All sniping aside, I wonder if there's just some sort of P.C. attempt to de-sexify the remaining mysogenistic costumes in the Park. I'm sure it's a lot to do with the changing average body type of the current crop of potential cast members, but I can't help feeling that the demise of the Storybook Land skirt and the Club 33 French Maid is all part of a plan that culminates with a far less sexy tour guide outfit.
What gets me about this plan is the blatent sexicism it displays towards men. I predict you won't see them de-sexifying the Canoe outfits, or claiming that studly men just can't be found nowadays for that job. |

I suspect as more women entered the business world, such marketing found less of an audience (as the women weren't as amused and the men felt less comfortable in endulging their laciviousness). But I think you hit on an interesting tangent - the desexualization of the work place. Current sexual harrassment training while presented as broadly as possible clearly is directed at men, who still are viewed as potential rapists. Is it any wonder that porn is more poipular than ever?

Despite that many feel Disneyland to be a mere workplace and 'cast member' to be a misnomer, I view everything that takes place in its public spaces to be "on stage." And like most people, I want a wee bit of sexual titilation in my entertainment ... most especially in the area of costuming. It's not that I want women objectified. Perhaps I would find the french maid outfit a bit anachronistic in terms of sexism, and yet the Storybookland skirts I would - to this day - find charming and appropriate. I don't want men objectified either. I think getting rid of laderhosen was a step too far, even for this day and age. And I find rolled-up shirtsleeves for Canoe Boys to be perfectly acceptable. On the other hand ... requiring them to take off their shirts as they paddle 'round the RoA would be a step too far (except, perhaps, on a certain Saturday each October). ![]() |

What characters are the "cast members" really playing? What is their background, their motivation? or are they not characters at all but rather stage decoration? If Disneyland is a show - then really go out there and make it one, the half-assed version doesn't do it for me. It's a nice metaphore and all, but I don't buy it.
